Dublin was first inhabited around 140 AD although the town was established much later, around 850 AD, as a Viking settlement. Anglo-Norman rule did not begin until the 12th century, to become the Republic of Ireland many years after the partition of Ireland. Dublin's population exceeds 1 million people now and has a heritage of famous persons being raised in the city, the most famous of which is probably James Joyce, where he wrote his greatest works.
